Le trio venu d'ailleurs: Les Contes d'Arcadia

It´s not common today to find a really well rounded animated series, which makes sense and is able to capture even adult minds. 3Below is one of the rare cases, it´s so easy to watch the next episode, and the next, and the next.... The animation is very eye-friendly, rather simple but of high quality, with pleasing colors. Great voice acting, simple but strong story line with more than a few surprises. The characters are very well written, they have depth and are really relatable, even smaller side characters are often interesting (the blank bot "parents" are so much overblown, but at the same time really hillarious) and when something happens there is a real reason behind it. This show continues in the good tradition of Trollhunter, and for me it´s even better then it´s predecessor. A truly nice and entertaining piece to watch.

Must watch for Trollhunter fans! Loved the animation and the cast. Eventhough it may seem for kids but you'll enjoy either way.

Overall, this is a very interesting series. Honestly, without exaggeration, from the very first episode until the middle of the second season, I thought I would give it 8(I don't really like this kind of graphics). But from the middle of the second season, the narrative of the story began a very rapid fall into the abyss called "the most stupid and banal clichés about heroes and villains". And even though this is, by and large, a children's animation, the plot has become madly predictable and no longer just for children, but for some babies... which personally caused a strong drop in interest for me me. Like the rating falling, up to 7. In the end, the decision of some of the characters were also disappointing (here I supported the guy with the glasses with all my hands, I would have done so in his place too).

It is what it is for a kid's show. One dimensional characters with slapstick humor that you pretend to laugh at but it's not really funny at all.

After Trollhunters I was expecting the same outstanding depth of storytelling. Clearly something went wrong along the way.

An unparalleled imagination, Guillermo del Toro's is master storyteller and I'm enjoying his projects across genres. This is the second story arch for the TALES OF ARCADIA which began with a triad series called TROLLHUNTERS and will close with a triad series called WIZARDS giving us 9 seasons of Arcadian tales. Once again, I feel unqualified to speak about this genre which seems to be somewhere between Child and Young Adult SciFi/Fantasy, but I'm finding that I'm not the lone adult following this project. Again, del Toro has attracted stellar voice talents: Tatiana Maslany, Diego Luna, Glenn Close, Hayley Atwell, to name a few. I particularly enjoyed the crosssover plot with the Trollhunter story line as 3Below begins its timeline in the third season of TROLLHUNTERS (you really should watch TROLLHUNTERS as well, although it has some pretty silly bits, which probably appeals to the younger audience). I give this series an 8 (great talent and imagination) out of 10. For a young audience it may be an 8 or an 8.5 out of 10. {Animated, SciFi, Action, Adventure}
